Optic neuromyelitis optica in children is generally more difficult to cure. Optic neuromyelitis optica is a demyelinating disease of the central nervous system, which mainly manifests as optic neuritis and acute myelitis, and can be alleviated by rational drug treatment.
1. Optic neuromyelitis optica is a demyelinating disease of the central nervous system that can involve the optic nerves and spinal cord. It may be related to the specific binding of aquaporin 4 to antibodies and human immunodeficiency virus infection.
2. Optic neuromyelitis may lead to symptoms of optic nerve injury such as loss of vision and retrobulbar optic neuritis, as well as symptoms of spinal cord injury such as transverse spinal cord damage, vesico-rectal dysfunction, and motor sensory deficits.
3. Optic neuromyelitis is generally difficult to cure. Depending on the condition of the disease, azathioprine, cyclophosphamide and other medications can be used under the guidance of a doctor to alleviate the progression of the disease and improve the quality of life of the child.
